This week, the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) released three provider letters.
The first letter to community services providers, dated June 11, concerns Evercare’s notice sent to potential long term services and supports providers concerning liability insurance requirements.
Evercare faxed information about its contracting and credentialing requirements concerning liability insurance. These requirements reflect DADS’s requirements; in that regard, providers won’t have to obtain additional liability insurance coverage to contract with Evercare. For more information, download the letter here.
In the second letter (June 12), DADS informed home health care agencies (HHA) seeking Medicare certification that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has ordered DADS to stop scheduling initial Medicare certification surveys of HHAs until further notice. For more information, download the six-page letter and attachment.
DADS issued a similar letter (June 12) to hospices. You may download it here.
